Enhanced Correlations in Hawking Radiation from Near-Extremal Collapse
Per Kraus, UCLA,

We consider the formation of a near-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole by collapse, and show how to compute correlations in the outgoing Hawking radiation due to enhanced gravitational backreaction effects in the near-horizon region. This is done by reducing to the s-wave and employing the Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein-Maxwell theory coupled to a scalar field.  We show how the standard Schwarzian quantum mechanics approach arises in a suitable late time regime. 

The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
